2/2 returned from Indians ace Justin Masterson. It took around 40 days for them to be returned, but it was worth the wait. Both are in great condition and signed beautifully with the inscription John 16:33 - “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Those look great, I wrote to him almost two months ago hopefully they'll come back tomorrow. Masterson's one of my favorite players, so underrated. Really nice guy too, he signed my ball for me before a game at Fenway when I was younger

I don't especially like bible verses on autographs, but the one JM gave you isn't overbearing, and he's always been known as a great guy.

Being Catholic, I obviously have no problem with it and enjoy them, but, kind of like James Ramsey, the way they sign their name gives them a great spot to add an inscription (both have a long straight line at the end then add their inscription next to it).

Just got Masterson back also! He must have signed everything before the break!

Yeah, it looks like it. Now is the time where I plan on sending to some of the big name guys. If you look on SCF, you see that guys like Strasburg get sent to in late July/early August and people got returns in the offseason. I guess I'll test my luck

First success was Phillies prospect, former Stony Brook SeaWolf, and Long Island native William Carmona. I wrote him a lengthy note saying how I've always dreamed of playing ball at Stony Brook and told him to make Long Island proud. He signed a 2012 Bowman Prospects base, 2012 Bowman Chrome Blue Wave, and answered my question card. For those of you who can't really see it too well, I wrote:

"Describe the team's (Stony Brook's) attitude after the heartbreaking loss to LSU in Game 1 of the 2012 Super Regionals"

And he wrote:

"We were disappointed, but we knew we could come back and win two. We were better than them at every single position."
